Meanwhile, Tripura's royal scion, Pradyot Debbarman, has expressed shock over the claims made by Nath stating that it could have been royal family members clarifying that neither he nor any of his family member had stated this, commenting on Nath's indication he said, "I think Mr. Ratan Lal Nath must be taking about some other Royal Family because as far as I know no one from the Royal family of Tripura is joining BJP. It is a same old tactics of Congress party which Mr. NATH is using to mislead the Indigenous people of Tripura before TTADC elections. He must be concerned about his own departments. As far as I am concern I am not joining BJP and I have not even met Mr. NATH after his son's wedding for which he had invited me".
